I got this EDM and thought I could basically teach the course myself. But then I reviewed what’s actually in it… and I was like, wtf? Legal Generative AI Project - 60 credits (that's 1/3 of 180)

If that module is anything other than "don't do this, everyone will tear you apart when your AI makes up fake case citations", I would be running far, far away.

I've nothing to do with KCL but my first thought was that but 60 credits is normally a dissertation on an LLM, so I suspect they've just called that something stupid because marketing said it would hit. (I could be wrong; not like HE hasn't ever chased an idiot fad before!)

That was my thought too, dissertation/similar on the theme of AI, possibly with a module attached like we'd normally do diss prep/research skills.

Old school machine learning “AI” for data extraction, natural language embedding, and signal processing is very useful and can automate routine tasks. But, please, generative AI should have no role in legal matters.

Seriously, since you’re doing it, why don’t you teach a bit of natural language processing and mathematics, and help them understand at least the concept of vector similarity?
